Before you go to another country, it is helpful to know the language and some of the customs of the country．
When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say“How do you do?”and shake hands．Usually they do not shake hands after they haven't met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time．
A group of German students go to England for a holiday．Their teacher tells them that the English people hardly shake hands．So when they meet their English friends at the station, they keep their hands behind their backs．The English students learn that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and get ready to shake hands with the German students．It makes both of them laugh．
